Cake donuts ARE doooooooonuts..who wants a donut that loses 50-75% of its volume when you bite into it? Anyway, I keep expecting champs to have the yeasty kind but I've never seen them. Maybe if you ask nicely...

I do. I like donuts to be at least 50% air. And have some elasticity. MMMMMM. Yes.

And really, I mean cake donuts are KIND OF donuts... but they're not DOUGH. They're batter. I'm not a snob about it or anything, but when I crave a donut, I mean fried and yeasty. Not cake in the shape of a donut. Wait. Maybe I AM a snob about it. I'M SORRY!

uh oh. If champs has yeasted donuts on Sat when we go there for the book signing, it won't be a pretty sight. I'll go nuts. I apologize for the poor first impression I'll be making with those of you whom I've never met.

atlas and vinnie's (and probably more places?) both have vegan treats donuts that come in on tuesdays!

TUESDAYS?! I'm coming to visit Tuesday!!!!! Please provide me directions from penn station, and pretend you are talking to a 4 year old. I am not good with public transportation, but I don't mind getting lost. especially for donuts!!!! especially for donuts that I might take to Lulas.

From Penn Station, take the A, C, E, 2, or 3 (or Q even) to 14th St. Least amount of walking around underground will be if you take the A, C, or E.Transfer to the L (toward Rockaway Pkwy.)Get off at the Bedford Ave. stop and walk toward the Bedford Ave. exit in the station.When you get outside, turn right and walk two blocks. You'll see a sign that says PIZZA on the other side of Bedford.Go in. Order a slice of vegan chicken broccoli teriyaki, a slice of vegan mac attack, some garlic knots, and a delicious treat.Wait. When your food is ready, go up and pay, and take the food back to your table.Stuff your face.Go lie down in the park.

If you reeeeaaaallly only want donuts you could always go to Atlas, which has the same ones and is in Manhattan.But it's better if you go to Vinnies, they have pizza and hot dudes to make it for you. (Ps bbq chicken is better than teriyaki chicken!)

i completely agree with you that baked "donuts" are not donuts (they're just cake baked in a donut shaped pan), but cake donuts that are fried are totally donuts. they might not be dough-knots, but they're totally a donut. (batter-knots just doesn't have the same ring to it)
